Pharmaceutical Translation Services

GTS provides professional pharmaceutical translation services for drug manufacturers, biotechnology companies, contract research organizations (CROs), clinical research teams and regulatory professionals.

We translate complex pharmaceutical, clinical, scientific and regulatory documentation in over 100 languages. Our translation process complies with the ISO 17100:2015 quality standard and is designed for projects where terminology accuracy, document consistency and reliable quality control are essential.

Specialized Translation for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical translation requires more than general language expertise. Translators must understand specialized terminology in pharmacology, toxicology, clinical research, chemistry, manufacturing and regulatory documentation.

GTS works with professional linguists selected according to the subject matter and language pair of each project. For large or complex assignments, we develop customized workflows that may include translation memory management, terminology control, independent linguistic review and document-level quality assurance.

Our clients include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, medical device manufacturers, research organizations and CROs. We also provide a full range of medical translation services for healthcare, clinical and life sciences organizations.

Clinical Trial and Patient-Facing Translation

Clinical research frequently requires accurate translation of documents intended for study participants, investigators, ethics committees and regulatory authorities.

GTS provides clinical trial translation services in over 100 languages. Documents include clinical protocols, patient questionnaires, study guides, research authorization documents and other trial materials.

We have extensive experience translating informed consent forms for clinical research and healthcare applications.

When required by an institutional review board, ethics committee or study protocol, we can also provide back translation services and translation validation.

Toxicology, Pharmacology and Nonclinical Documentation

Large toxicology and pharmacology translation projects present unique challenges. Scientific terminology must remain consistent across hundreds or thousands of pages, while dose concentrations, units of measurement, routes of administration, laboratory findings and pathological observations must be translated accurately.

GTS handles large Chinese-to-English and multilingual scientific translation projects involving toxicology reports, pharmacology documentation, pharmacokinetic findings, pathology observations and complex laboratory data.

In one recent project, GTS translated approximately 2,000 pages of Chinese toxicology and pharmacology documentation into English. The assignment required a customized workflow combining specialized scientific translators, technology-assisted document processing, terminology control and multiple levels of quality assurance.

Pharmaceutical Translation for Regulatory Documentation

Pharmaceutical companies operating internationally may need translated documentation for regulatory review, product authorization and local market requirements.

GTS translates regulatory submissions and supporting scientific documentation for major pharmaceutical markets worldwide. Our multilingual teams work with European, Asian, Middle Eastern and American languages and can translate both from English and into English.

For European medicinal products, we translate Summaries of Product Characteristics, Patient Information Leaflets, labeling and packaging text. We understand the importance of terminology consistency, approved source text and current regulatory templates when working with pharmaceutical documentation.
